For the demands of mountain professionals and serious backcountry skiers, the ultra-strong aluminum blade of the Transfer shovel facilitates maximum snow removal in the smallest footprint of space. Lightweight yet strong, these shovels are optimized for extended shaft length—the Transfer’s removable trapezoidal shafts extend to 86 cm (34 in) on the Transfer 7 and 84 cm (33 in) on the Transfer 3. The strong, ergonomic handle is friendly to both mitts and gloves; it provides the benefits of T-and D-shaped handles in a low-profile, packable design. The blades generate clean cuts for efficient snowpit construction.
